Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

Michonne kicked the Governor's ass haha! She did damn good to say she was wounded. I couldn't believe Andrea held the gun up at her after she survived out in the world 8 months with her and she knew the govenor for only a few days! I just wonder what's gonna happen to Daryl now. I hope his brother finally gets killed. That's one evil son of a bitch. I wonder when Andrea is gonna wake up and see who the govenor really is.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

When a girl can not concentrate on anything else because she is distracted with the DICK of her latest piece of ass. Her work is jeopardized, she's a sell out to her girlfriends, she picks up his shit including his kids or whatever. She will do whatever it takes for the DICK. Even if the dick isn't all that great, she doesn't know the difference because she is dickmatized.

Man. I haven't seen Christina in forever; she is totally dickmatized by that loser!

True. Shane's dead, and she needed some...

And I don't want Beth to die. Eh, if she HAS to, then I guess she can die the last episode.

Andrea's such a moron at this point. I'm sure she'll have her "wake up and choose the right side" moment when the season resumes, but pretty much ever since she went into permanent PMS mode at Dale for taking her gun away I've felt she's acted like a whiny rebellious teenager.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

Am I like the only one that is going to be ticked of they kill off Daryl. Personally he is my favorite character. One of the reasons I continue to watch the show. He has been a crutial person in the group and personally I think they should end up finding a way for him to replace Rick as the leader.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

Yeah Shane if anything was given a falsely larger role in the TV show than he actually had in the graphic novel. His death was already guaranteed when they started writing the show. So I don't think his death = "well they might kill off anyone then." That makes it sound like he was unlikely to die. I wasn't surprised he died, I was surprised how long they kept him and how elaborate they made the lead-up to it.

Likewise, several dead characters in the graphic novel at this point in events are still alive, and vice-versa. Some are definitely on borrowed time as it is.

I hope Rick snaps out of his temper-tantrum issues soon and can be seen as a leader'ish type again (but judging from the preview that might not happen). If Andrea were to pick Guvnah's side and get left behind with that group, then good riddens to her too... I'm sick of her always acting like a hormonal high-schooler chick that needs to get laid by any guy she finds cute that says hi to her.

C'mon February 10th! Can't wait!!

I agree with this. Shane really did have it coming. I personally wasnt that fond of his character.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

The 'final' episode was great - the cliffhanger was decent but I'm pretty sure Daryl will survive - as will Merle. I ship Carol/Daryl so I want him to see through this Woodbury mess. I wonder if the Governor doesn't end up killing Daryl/Merle because Andrea says something.. he can't afford to lose her after all she's been exposed to about Woodbury and now that he's basically thrown Merle to the zombies.

The Michonne/Governor fight was one of the most epic sequences I've ever seen on TV. Epic! Michonne has been awesome to watch; I just hope we get some detail regarding the character because we know nothing about her. Like.. at least give her some dialogue for fucks sake! I guess now the Governor will wear than infamous eye-patch.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

The Michonne/Governor fight was sooooo good! They both just gave it! They were totally thte stars of the episode, for me.

I haven't been that excited to see two television characters pull off the gloves since Buffy and Faith. The build up to the fight was relatively short, but intense. And it did not dissappoint! That girl took some blows! And how she ended it... frig! AMC, you rock!

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

I loved the fight also!! I was glad it was blow for blow, I didn't want him to just beat her down, she had to show her tough side and how she survived on her own w/o help. And what is with all the hesitation, just fuck him up. (just like when Maggie had the gun on Merle and yelling for him to stop instead of just swiss cheesing his ass). I aso wish Michonne would have said something to Andrea, something like "bitch do you not see what the fuck is going on, do you not see these fucking jars or this "kids", you that hard for dick? and then walk out by her and shove her ass to the floor. I know Darryl will at least make it thru the first episode back, they showed him in the preview and I'm guess Merle is with him since they played Glenn say "what is he doing here" and that is the only person I can picture him saying that to. Andrea just wanna feel safe and get dicked down and she is satisfied. She will learn the hard way. Seems Rick is slowly taking on some of "wolverine Shane's" traits. He is quick to pull a gun and threaten people. I wonder how much before someone, maybe Carl, sets him back on the right path.

And how the hell you miss a big ass hole the back on the prison? I know they probably didn't check the entire prison but still, that is just odd. Also, I wonder how long Michonne will keep it to herself that she knows Andrea? I guess from the previews, Andrea will show and all will be layed out but I'm sure the Governor is following dumb ass to the prison. I guess after Rick raises hell about the newcomers, he will happy to have them when the Gov shows up. I guess I will do like I do when TB goes off, turn my mind off about it and get hooked on something else.

He got that thickness, the kind that make you get up makin' biscuits with breakfast, so gone - Jill Scott - So Gone

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

for some reason i really dont like tyrese's group mainly just the blubbering white guy and his son. the whole 'we dont leave ppl behind' thing was so annoying, they been living in the apocalypse for how long, they know she will turn, i just thought it was dumb, like did they think they could save her?

Anyway, the zombies will always take a backseat to the human antagonists because there is no room for development when it comes to them-- their function is to create suspense as a background threat and to provide material for scary/gory scenes. Besides, in any narrative that features apocalyptic themes, you have to expect that a lot of the focus will be on the ways in which the chaos brings out the worst in humanity.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

Oh fuck. Don't get me started on award shows. I find they go to one of two extremes. Either they ignore commercially successful movies/shows/artists/etc and only nominate artsy bullshit that nobody cares about or they pander to the preteens and give armfull of awards to Hannah Montana, Twilight, and Justin Bieber.

Wow. Reading those articles has me nervous. What was Glen's real reason for leaving? A lot of the articles I've been reading are leaning towards AMC being cheap. And that is evident by the second season's first half, which coincidentally had a different showrunner then. Glen picked up the second half of season 2, and boy did it pick up.

What do you guys think? Do you think it'll be good anymore?

Personally, I think it'll still be good. I mean, they are based on the comics, so the writing has technically been done. I hope that by them sticking more closely to it, it'll be as great a show as it currently is.

Put another way, the zombies in seasons 1 and 2 were frightening. With the exception of the episode where Hershel is bitten they've only been annoying props this season. The zombie apocalypse needs to continue to evolve -- why didn't winter slow them down, do some of them have any intelligence, how did the plague start, is the only route of tranmission being bitten, where is the herd going, etc, etc. Oh, I think Woodbury would have been truly frightening if the Governor had turned to enforced but hidden cannabalism to feed his town (idea borrowed from a Syfy movie). That would have given great weight to Michonne's "Nobody leaves this town on their own" statement.

^^^YES^^^ I love those ideas...too bad you aren't a writer on TWD

I had a problem with Michon not warning Rick and Daryl that Andrea and Meryl were there. I spent the last episode trying to figure out why someone so smart and survival oriented would omit such a vital piece of information because the element of surprise could kill all of them.

Because as far as I could tell she does not trust Rick's group virtually any more than Woodbury and she was just using them as a way to get in so she could try to break the place's hold over Andrea. She used them for an end, that's why she abruptly ditched them mid-mission to go to the Governor's house.

The problem with that theory...the element of surprise could have cost Michon her life as well as the rest of the group so she basically handicapped them...and she doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would handicap herself in any way. I was also thinking...if she didn't want to tell them about Merle or Andrea...what could possibly be her motive?

I think she had a respect for Rick and company that she didn't have for the Governor because Rick didn't trust her and showed her that...and that is something Michon can respect versus the psycho phony bullshit the governor laid on her. I see her character as the sharpest knife in the drawer which is why I had a problem with the inconsistency.

I like this, and agree with it very much. Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Why on earth would the governor trust them just like that with no remorse? I mean, even Herschel took Rick's group in, but he was still trying to set boundaries.

This assumes Michonne cared anywhere near as much about what happened to Rick's people as what happens to herself and Andrea. Which as you yourself said, her actions do not support believing.

She very nearly all but instantly drew her weapon on Rick for touching her... these are people she supposedly trusts and knows are good guys? I don't think she trusts anyone but herself.

Bottom line... I think the writers dropped the ball ...or maybe bad editing left the part where she warned them on the floor...

I don't think she necessarily trusts Rick completely...or anyone for that matter...but I do think she knows they are basically good guys.

The problem is they wrote her as a very bright and capable survivor and they didn't follow through. Had they used Andrea as bait and pretended they were gonna harm her they might have all dropped their guns...I have to think Michon would have been smarter than that. As you said...she might not care about Rick but she does care about herself and Andrea.

Yeah...at this point in the game...anyone who has open arms should be viewed as suspect. It is a different world and Michon seems more aware of that than anyone. Well...Michon and Carl.

I figured that maybe she just trusts women but after Andrea drinking the crazy water and being a lost soul it makes Michonne give up hope on trusting people. I just hope that she stays alive for Season 3 because she is my favorite character.

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

I think whatever happened in that secret room with Andrea aiming her gun at Michonne I think she might be extra careful with trusting Rick and the gang. I hope Andrea goes, cause she has constantly made more dumb moves in the entire series than any other character has.

I just don't get what the show is doing with her character. If fans were supposed to like her as some kind of strong female character, almost no one I have ever talked to about TWD likes her at all, and most want her dead at this point. I feel like all her character did was spend 2 seasons absolutely whining about wanting to be recognized for what Michonne came in and was right from the start in season 3 without even trying. And she still isn't independent or strong, she just seems to delude herself that she is. (Andrea, that is.)

Re: The Walking Dead [merged]

The thing I saw was that from Season 2 she wanted to be one of the guys with balls, she wanted to watch after the farm but she was reduced down to house maid and she didn't want to be like that. She ends up having a gun given to her and fucking shoots Daryl in the head and she continues to make stupid decisions. If I was Rick I would just let Andrea die with the village of idiots who are so fucked in the head.

From the beginning I wanted Carl to die the most but now I might have to cancel out of that decision and hope that Andrea is the one to die.
